This 6.0 release had some annotate related features and it, consistent with the form, has also suffered schedule problems - the general intent is, once the branch has been cut, only fixes get pushed onto it. The late completion of the annotate stuff has blured this, as has the frame stuff, but the general intent is still there. New features go into the mainline, and people wanting the features can pick it up from there. Andrew
